BRADENTON, Fla. – After more than a year of investigating the need to open a dental school in Florida, administrators and the Board of Trustees at the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) announced plans to open a school at its Bradenton, Florida campus.

The projected costs of building the facility are estimated at $52 million.

“LECOM recognizes that dentists have become an integral team player in improving the health of their patients,” said Silvia Ferretti, senior vice president and dean of Academic Affairs. “The role they play in preventive medicine corresponds with the osteopathic principals of total health care as taught by the College of Osteopathic Medicine and the School of Pharmacy.”

The Dental School received unanimous provisional approval from the Florida Commission for Independent Education and awaits initial accreditation in February from the Commission on Dental Accreditation.

Once accredited, the college is expected to recruit students for the Dental School for its first semester in 2012, which will be only the third in the state, according to a statement from the university. Students will learn all about 교정, or teeth correction to you and I, as well as oral hygiene and other oral treatments.

The school will enroll 100 first-year students in its first class, and within four years of its inaugural class, the School of Dental Medicine will enroll 400 students, the university stated.

The school expects the direct impact of institutional, employee and student spending to reach about $14 million dollars in the Bradenton area, and as much as $35 million through direct and indirect spending statewide.

The Dental School will employ about 200 individuals, and will provide dental clinic care to underserved patients, staffed by faculty and students, for up to 600 individuals daily. Services will include things like, teeth cleaning, gum checks, lumineers (look on https://www.cosmeticdentistsnewyorkcity.com/lumineers/ for more information on this). Dental health is highly important and patients must keep regular appointments.

]]> PIKEVILLE, Ky. — Ground breaking ceremonies were held recently at Pikeville College to celebrate the construction of a nine-story educational facility, expanded clinical skills center and cafeteria/commons scheduled to be completed in March 2012.
 
The facility has a projected cost of $25 million, with ancillary costs elevating the project to about $30 million. Pikeville College initiated a capital construction campaign last fall and anticipates receiving $8 million to $10 million in gifts, grants and corporate support for the project. In late September, the USDA Rural Development Administration announced that the college was selected to receive a $ 26.5 million loan to construct the new building.
 
Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear also announced a $500,000 grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission that he helped secure to offset the new facilities and construction costs.
 
The new medical tower will be located on a hillside and will include two lecture halls, a gross anatomy lab, two research labs, offices, small group classrooms and student study space, according to reports.
 
A clinical skills training and evaluation center that will house 12 specially-equipped examination rooms will be within the building and serve as training and testing centers for students in programs using standardized patients and high-fidelity robotic patient stimulators.
 
The Appalachian region of Kentucky where Pikeville is situated has been referred to as being “Doctor sparse” by Rep. Harold Rogers (D-Somerset). The Pikesville College School of Medicine is preparing and encouraging students to enter primary care practices and to locate those practices in such rural areas as eastern Kentucky.
